The Challenge
With 36 seasons under its belt and no signs of slowing down , it ’s dependable to say thatThe Challengeisn’t just one of the most successful world show in MTV history , but is one of the most successful reality competitions in all television .
Over the course of its many seasons , The Challengehas germinate drastically , the show that it is today is hardly recognizable in equivalence to theReal WorldandRoad Rulesrivalry game that it used to be . The show typically takes on a specific format or style each time of year , and it ’s jolly vernacular for the show toreuse successful formats for multiple season over . But , which formats are played out , and which do fans still desire more of ?
Played Out: The Inferno
The early season ofThe Challengestended to have the loosest and least interesting formats , and while something likeThe Infernomight have forge back then , it ’s not something that would really render well to the present serial publication .
It would be nice to see another team challenge again , butThe Inferno , which first begin with a definitive Real World vs. Road Rules data formatting and then switched to Good Guys Vs . Bad Asses , is n’t the variety of squad data formatting that the show should resurrect .
Want More Of: The Duel
The Duelis aChallengeformat that has n’t been discover in over a decade , but it ’s still one of the honest thought that the show has come up with .
It really feels like the predecessor toFree Agents , and while players are still required to play together on most challenges , the main view of the plot makes it a lot more entertaining and really earmark players to show their skills .
Played Out: The Gauntlet
Much likeThe Inferno , The Gauntletis a formatting idea that ’s toy out because it essentially is n’t much of a format .
The first threeGauntletseasons had the players jolly randomly divvied up into two teams ( in the firstGauntletit was Real World vs. Road Rules , and in the 2nd and third it was Vets vs. Rookies ) , and given what incredible format ideas the show has come up with since , this is one conception that does n’t need to be revisited .
Want More Of: Rivals
The firstRivalsseason inChallengehistory was undeniably one of the best seasons of the entire serial . And , while late seasons have n’t really survive up to the first one , it ’s still one of the most interesting and fun formats of the show .
Some rivalries are n’t nearly as legit as the others , but whenThe Challengecan come up with an entire cast of pairs who hate each other , it ’s arrant amusement .
Played Out: The Island
The Islandwas only a formatting for one time of year , but it ’s dependable to say that its time of year was more than enough . style back whenSurvivorbecame a knock hit , The Challengedecided that it would be a good musical theme to initialise a season in a very similar style , but the upshot were more than a little lacking .
give the bluntness of the actual gameplay as well as the dread behaviour of the player , The Islandis nigh universally take to be one of the tough seasons inChallengehistory .
Want More Of: Free Agents
It ’s going to be out of the question to ever format a season ofThe Challengewhere the participant as a whole are n’t act upon the succeeder of one individual participant in the game .
However , Free Agentsis about as confining as the show can get to forcing player to play a truly individual game , and it ’s awful to see how dissenter really do when they do n’t have theiralliances to rely on .
Played Out: Battle Of The Exes
Much likeRivals , a reliable time of year ofBattle of the Exescan be one of the good time of year of anyChallenge .
However , while competitor do have a drug abuse of always date stamp and dumping each other , Battle of the Exesonly really work when there are real couples who have had significant relationships and fall apart up . At this point , it ’s boundary line impossible to descend up witha good castfor this formatting .
Want More Of: Double Agents
The Challengeobviously systematically rely on pairing players together in order for them to compete . And while that format has earmark many players to shine , it ’s also grueling not to notice that team that consist of two dissenter with wildly differing acquisition set often winds up hamstringingsome of the strong playersfor an entire season .
But , theDouble Agentsformatbrilliantly works around that trouble , and seeing players perpetually change over pairs has been great .
Played Out: War of the Worlds
The concept ofWar of the Worldsisn’t a terrible one , but it seems like it was created and designed simply so thatThe Challengecould incorporate a destiny of reality TV stars from unlike countries into the show .
While makingThe Challengeinto a series with an external cast is in reality a really cool thought , it did n’t really require multiple seasons revolving around these cast appendage either , and there are better concepts for the show to tackle in the future tense .
Want More Of: All Stars
It only took nearly 40 seasons , but in the end , The Challengeis coming out with a legitimateAll Starsseason . While some cast members of the debutAll Starsseason are n’t quite as old - schooltime as buff were hoping for , seeing some realChallengevetscome back for the competition is super exciting .
It ’s fine thatThe Challengeis always expanding its talent puddle by introducing novel players from different shows , but lover desperately want to see moreChallengeicons riposte too .
